18 Chapter 18 - Social distancing please....

"Hestia!" A beautiful mature woman with long wavy golden honey colored hair and orange eyes. Like Hestia, she is well-endowed, giving her a great figure.

She wore white gloves and a light-colored dress with darker edges and a wheat symbol colored symbol on her well-endowed chest that signified her Familia, she was 162cm tall (5.4Ft)

"Demeter!" Hestia waved at Demeter who walked over with a typical big sister smile.

"So this is your new Familia Member, I heard about him! It seems like your Familia is really lively" Demeter teased as she inspected Laurens.

"*Hmph*… Atleast he has the guts to do so!" Hestia puffed her cheeks and said while holding Laurens' arm.

"Hmm.... Truly a cute one! I bet the girls would like him" Demeter said with a finger to her chin and a warm smile as she looked at Laurens' body.

Hestia's body shuddered and she hastily jumped in front of Laurens with her arms spread wide and said with a 'threatening' expression, "You better don't get any ideas about him Demeter!"

"Ara ara~… What is this? Isn't that a bit too much of a reaction? You can't just forbid his relationship with women as his Goddess, Hestia, or is there another reason why?" Demeter had the same warm smile on her face, yet Laurens could tell that this woman's personality was like a joker.

Hestia blushed but stayed standing in front of Laurens' which made Demeter slightly open her eyes and a slight grin that was extremely easy to miss appeared on her face as she suddenly reached out over Hestia's head and hugged Laurens.

"My name is Demeter, I'm the Goddess of Agriculture and Harvest. If you ever need anything feel free to come by!" Demeter managed to push Hestia out of the way, who puffed her cheeks but didn't do anything else as she hugged Laurens even tighter.

Laurens could feel his body being felt up from his shoulders to his legs, nearly every place was touched.

However, Laurens could tell that this woman didn't do it with any sexual meaning, it seemed as if she inspected his body instead.

"Aaah! He is so cute!" Demeter suddenly hugged Laurens' head and pushed it between her boobs, Laurens couldn't help but admit that these things would definitely be a better pillow than his current one...

"Demeter!" Hestia growled and pulled Demeter away from Laurens who merely smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

Demeter looked between Laurens' legs and couldn't help but admit his self-control, although she never really cared about how others saw her, she was still a woman, since Laurens didn't have any reaction from being surrounded by her boobs made her pout which was extremely adorable.

"I do need your help with something actually" Laurens interrupted the two ladies as he spoke to Demeter.

"Just tell me, since you're part of Hestia's Familia I will do my best to help you out" Demeter said with her standard Onee-San smile.

"Well, this one here doesn't want to stop working despite there no need doing so" Laurens said as he patted Hestia's head, who to Demeter's surprise just smiled and leaned against Laurens with a smile.

"I need a lot of materials, however, not the standard ones" Laurens said with a smile.

"We have pretty much everything available in the neighboring Kingdoms, just tell me what you need" Demeter smiled and spoke.

Laurens started explaining all the materials needed for a few hamburger recipes he thought would fit adventurers just fine, mayonnaise, fries, vegetables and something for what he saw on the internet that would be able to create bubbles in a beverage.

"…..We do have all of those but what are you going to do with all of those?" Demeter asked with a slightly shocked expression, she didn't expect someone like him to know how to cook.

"Create a restaurant for her, that way she can work but doesn't need to work hard, she can just work whenever she wants and can just relax whenever she wants while still doing something that satisfies her consciousness" Laurens smiled at Hestia who brightly smiled and hugged his arm.

Demeter smiled with genuine happiness for Hestia since they were very good friends, but she still couldn't help but be a bit envious.

"By the way, is that a present for Apollo?" Demeter asked when she noticed that Laurens had been holding a decorated square box the entire time.

"Mmm.... Something like that" Laurens smiled brightly, however, Demeter could clearly see through Laurens and noticed that something was wrong with his smile.

"It seems you're more interesting than I thought" Demeter lightly smiled and said, "I will greet the others now, I will see you two later at the party" She pulled her dress up with two hands and made a slight bow before walking away with a teasing smile as she looked at Laurens who couldn't help but take a deep breath every time she showed off her breasts like that.

As Laurens looked around the venue, he noticed a lot of different kind of Gods and Goddesses while barely any humans attended the party, Every God/Goddess only had one or no Familia Members with them.

Suddenly, the crowd started becoming more active as all their gazes went towards the entrance.

She had long silver colored hair and had a perfect golden ratio, enough to think that the golden ratio originated from her. Her dress was a light purple dress with dark purple shash hanging over her shoulder.

Next to her was a tall Boaz-race man with rust-colored hair, Laurens didn't even look at them and continued talking with Hestia about the idea of the restaurant.

If Laurens saw them, he would naturally know that they were Freya and Ottar.

Freya looked around and finally noticed Laurens, she elegantly walked over and stopped near them and politely said,

"Miach, Takemikazuchi, Hermes, Hestia, I hope you've been well"

Laurens finally glanced at Freya before returning to his original conversation with Hestia about the best place to open it.

Hermes didn't look straight at Freya but still smiled politely and said, "You look great lady Freya"

Takemikazuchi just stuttered and looked downwards while Miach complimented her, "You look as beautiful as always lady Freya"

The two women besides Takemikazuchi and Miach suddenly pinched their sides which nearly made them scream out.

Freya just smiled and finally looked at Laurens, as she stepped closer, Laurens turned towards her with a warm smile on his face.

Freya reached her hand out towards Laurens' face with a kind smile on her face, as her hand neared Laurens' face, he calmly took a step backwards and looked at her with a colder expression.

"What is your plan Freya?!" Hestia called out as she noticed Freya trying to touch Laurens, Freya didn't listen to Hestia and still stood in the same position while trying to hide her shock.

"Aah.. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable, that wasn't my intention" Freya apologized after getting back to reality.

"It's fine, but we don't know eachother so please refrain from randomly touching me" Laurens said with a monotone voice.

The people around them couldn't help but be stunned at what was happening, Freya, the Goddess of Beauty, was looked at like this by a Mortal?!

"I apologize for my behavior, if you will excuse me" Freya politely bowed while holding the edge of her dress and walked away.

The Gods/Goddesses and Familia Members couldn't take their eyes off Laurens who calmly continued talking with Hestia who had a wide and proud smile on her face.

When they carefully looked at Laurens, they couldn't help but admit that the man was extremely good looking, whether it was his body or elegance, if it wasn't for the cold look he gave Freya, they would think he was some kind of Saint.

If Laurens knew what they were thinking though, he would've probably burst out laughing right there and then.

***

Freya and Ottar walked further and Freya told Ottar to wait there for her as she went around a Hall, she had a flushed face as she held a hand on her chest.

"Aaahh.... you exceeded my expectations, how wonderful you are"

Not only was he not charmed by her, he even rejected her outright without bothering to sugarcoat his words, nobody had ever treated her like that before!

Freya leaned against a wall and muttered, "I really want to have you, Hestia can't give you the love that I can give you...."

***

"There you are, little imp!" A mocking voice came from behind, Laurens and Hestia turned around to see Ais and Loki standing there.

"Oh and where were you, Loki no-boobs! Dressing as a man and try...."

Loki and Hestia continued to argue while Laurens smiled at Ais, she was wearing a light green dress that perfectly showed her off her figure with a black neck choker that had a green jewel attached, she also wore a pair of black Opera gloves that reached her chest.

"You look beautiful" Laurens said with a small smile, ais revealed a small smiled before saying "You look good aswell"

Hestia and Loki stopped talking and looked at the two in shock and said in unison, "How do you know eachother?!"

Loki continued in shock, "Ais, this kid made a bet for your sword. Why are you talking to him? Even complimenting him?!"

Laurens and Ais looked at each other before Laurens said, "We have been training together for the last 6 days or so"

"WHAT?!" The two screamed in shock before demanding an explanation.

As far as Hestia knew, it was just that one time Riveria asked for his help and after that he wouldn't bother going there but now this wallensomething was going to steal Laurens away from her aswell?!

Laurens looked at Ais and motioned for her to talk to explain, opposed to Loki's thoughts, Ais began vaguely explaining how she was being reckless on the expedition until Laurens talked her out of it.

"I see, thank you" Loki seriously said despite her always joking nature which even shocked Hestia, however, Hestia didn't know the young Ais....

"You're welcome, but I will still take 100.000.000 Valis when I level up though" Laurens grinned which made Loki reveal a bitter smile, yet she knew Laurens was giving her the benefit since Ais weapon was worth around 150.000.000 Valis.

Ofcourse, for Ais it was worth that much since it was a personalized weapon.

"You should first reach Level 2 before talking big!" Loki said with a joking tone.

Hestia's face changed into a proud smile while Ais nudged Loki who turned towards her, "What is wrong Ais-chan?"

"He can already Level Up" Ais said with a straightforward tone which made Loki look at her with an anxious expression.

"You want to say he reached that level within a week?!" Loki screamed out loud, nearly attracting every person out there.

Ais panicked and quickly put her hand in front of the Goddess with much force, nearly knocking the Goddess' teeth out.

Laurens and Hestia couldn't help but laugh as they looked at Ais who had slightly red cheeks as she apologized to Loki who looked at Ais as if the world betrayed her.

"How unique, to see the Loki Familia and Hestia Familia laughing together, it seems that you both have great children" Demeter suddenly appeared behind Loki with her Onee-San smile.

"Demeter, it's been a while" Loki said as she couldn't help but look at Demeter's boobs with an envious expression.

As they started talking, music began playing and people started walking towards the dancefloor.

Hestia, Loki and Demeter looked at eachother before giving Ais a push towards Laurens, Ais had a shocked look on her face as she felt Loki pushing her back while even Hestia gave Laurens a push towards Ais.

"Hestia?" Laurens asked in confusion, Hestia looked at him and shrugged, "Just do it..... But you will dance later with me later aswell!!"

Laurens looked at Hestia and then at Demeter who winked at him, Laurens couldn't help but admit that this is one of the reasons why Demeter was one of the favorite people in the series for him.

Innocent yet shrewd, playful yet mature.

Laurens just smiled at Ais who looked at him, he slightly bowed and held up his hand, before he could even say anything, a soft, small hand had already gotten comfortable in his.

"Mmm" Ais nodded with a small smile as they walked towards the dancefloor aswell.
